Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2015, 2016
In 2015, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Benelli TNT 1130R, a naked, aggressive, and powerful motorcycle with the same package as the previous one without significant modifications, except for color alterations.
The Benelli TNT was a line of motorcycles based on the Tornado Tre 900. The TNT designation was an acronym for "Tornado Naked Tre," Tornado came from the engine and chassis derived from its faired sibling, Naked denoted its lack of fairings, and Tre from its three-cylinder engine.
Although the frame was identical to the one of the Tornado Tre model, the swingarm was different. The bike was available in two displacements, 1130 and 899cc, with other designations, like Sport, Sport EVO, Cafe Racer, Titanium, R160, R, 899, and Century Racer.
The 2014 model was characterized by standard fittings, like a fork-mounted headlight, a small wind deflector, a two-piece dual seat, a three-into-one exhaust system with an under-seat silencer, and five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.
The 2015 Benelli TNT 1130R was powered by a 1,130cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine, delivering 158 hp with a peak at 10,200 rpm and 121 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 8,400 rpm.
Braking-wise, the bike packed two 320 mm brake rotors with four-piston calipers mounted on the front wheel and a single 240 mm brake disc with a dual-piston caliper mounted on the rear wheel.
